An appeals court rejected the Rev. Raleigh Trammell’s appeal of his conviction for stealing
taxpayer money intended for the poor yesterday, and it lifted an order that has kept the Dayton
civil-rights leader out of prison for more than a year.

Montgomery County prosecutors said they will give Trammell until early next week to turn himself
over to the county jail for transport to state prison to begin serving his 18-month sentence, or
they’ll have him arrested.

Carley Ingram, chief of the prosecutor’s appeals division, had asked the 2nd District Court of
Appeals to lift the stay.
